Oh no, it's some non-white people.

Ok.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Please keep politics out of this thread.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I can hear it now; "But Sith Lord Darth Snoopy, Master of all he surveys , Star Trek is all about politics!"

Keep it out anyway. There's a dedicated forum for that mumbo jumbo.

Anyway, I had no idea how popular Ella Purnell has apparently gotten. I'm at Megacon and thought it would be cool to add her autograph to my Trek collection, but holy crap, it's like trying to get an audience with the Pope.
Is all that really just from Fallout or am I missing something?

She also has a role in that Arcane show, and I just finished up Sweetpea that she was great in, but yeah I think it's mostly everyone's love for Fallout.

Arcane? Never heard of it.
For the first time, I feel old and out of touch at Megacon. I don't recognize most of the guests. The cosplays are all alien to me. It's all anime and video games and Twlight and I look like a dinosaur by comparison. Ella Purnell and Clint Howard are the only ones here even related to Star Trek, but you wouldn't know it from how their booths are advertised.

I see some black and white numbers:

 

[afrog]

"Many" is intentionally vague. That's why certain politicians love to say "Many people are saying (insert idea here)". How much is "many"? A dozen? A hundred? It doesn't really mean anything.
All we have to go by empirically is the data. And the data is:

Yes, while I count the many people for you, you may count the empirical data:

Yup I'm the same. I have no idea who the heck most of these video game characters are that HT and other companies are releasing figures of now. That's the one thing from my childhood that I actually outgrew.

Wait, I forgot! She was also in Yellowjackets, which I've seen and love.
I actuality think it's a much better show than Fallout. Not that I think Fallout is bad, I actually like it a lot, but I think Yellowjackets is damn near a masterpiece. Especially that first season.
Also, she really, really elevated Prodigy for me. If I'm only going to have one person's autograph to represent that show in my collection, I'm glad it's hers.

Snoopy warned y'all. I just deleted a post and handed out a warning. No politics and no insulting other members.
